It would seem best, imo, to just install DeMIME for the mailing lists - that 
way people could go about their normal routine. DeMIME basically just strips 
out the MIME portion of an email and leaves the normal text version of it. If 
there isn't a text version, it does it's best to convert the HTML version to 
a text one.
